We'll begin with Dart, whose second NFL season is over after one game and one possession.
Giants coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Dart will undergo surgery to repair multiple injuries in his left knee and miss the remainder of the season.
The ACL is intact, but Dart damaged his meniscus, MCL, and PCL when he was sacked on the opening drive of Monday's loss to the Rams.
Harbaugh said that surgery on that and the MCL gives Dart his best chance to recover fully for 2027.
The 23-year-old threw three touchdowns in this year's opener after accounting for 24 as a rookie, and the Giants had built their offense around his mobility and downfield aggressiveness.
Jameis Winston takes over for a one-and-one team that hosts Tennessee on Sunday.
The Giants can explore another quarterback, but replacing Dart's skill in September isn't realistic.
The immediate task is now building a functional offense around Winston while protecting the young quarterback's long-term recovery.
Indianapolis placed Alec Pierce on injured reserve with a left heel injury, meaning he'll miss at least four games and can't return before October 25th.
Pierce had surgery on the same foot in March, but the Colts believe they can avoid another operation.
That matters because Pierce, 26, signed a new four-year, $114 million contract in March after leading the NFL in yards per catch in consecutive seasons.
Indianapolis signed 29-year-old Darius Slayton to the practice squad and could elevate him against Houston.
Slayton had 37 catches for 538 yards last season and already knows quarterback Daniel Jones from their six years together with the Giants.
He won't reproduce Pierce's vertical impact by himself but gives the Colts an experienced outside receiver immediately.
Carolina placed 23-year-old running back Jonathan Brooks on injured reserve ahead of core muscle surgery.
He'll miss at least six weeks after injuries limited him to five games in his first two seasons.
The Panthers promoted safety Isaiah Simmons and, according to reports, worked out 31-year-old running back Austin Ekeler.
Ekeler has more than 9,000 career yards from scrimmage and would give Carolina proven receiving depth if the workout becomes a contract.
Cincinnati receiver Andre Hazewich is expected to miss four to six weeks after surgery on a torn thumb ligament.
He's the Bengals' third starting receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins with 87 catches and 12 touchdowns in three-plus seasons.
Cincinnati will likely redistribute those snaps rather than finding a direct replacement.
